Geothermal Energy
The earth we inhabit is inundated with Solar Energy every day. A substantial portion of this vast quantity of energy is stored below the surface of the planet and available for useful work, provided it can be harnessed economically and conveniently. But on the other hand, compared to the inherent thermal energy resources of the planet available under it's crust and produced by radioactive decay, this solar energy pales in to insignificance.
Geothermal resources can be broadly categorized as;
High Temperature (i.e. >150 0C) Used generally for the generation of electrical energy.
